The website of the French National Assembly (lower house of parliament) was down on Monday as a result of cyber attacks, BFMTV reports.
⠀
“From the middle of the day on March 27, the portal of the National Assembly is unavailable: it is impossible to connect to the site in any way,” the BFMTV website says.
⠀
When you try to open the chamber’s website, a splash screen appears on it with the inscription “Site is under maintenance.”
⠀
The TV channel points to the messages of a group of “pro-Russian” hackers in Telegram called NoName057, who claimed responsibility, but adds that the authenticity of the information published there cannot be established.
⠀
“We decided to repeat our recent trip to France, where the protests against Macron, who decided not to give a damn about the French and continues to” serve “Ukrainian neo-Nazis,” still do not subside.

The image shows a bear, a bear paw print, the emblem of the National Assembly and a screen with a 504 error that can occur due to DDoS attacks.

Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne on March 16 invoked Article 49.3 of the constitution to pass a bill to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote in parliament. Previously, this law has already caused a strong wave of protests in France, most of them gathered more than a million participants across the country. The demonstrations were accompanied by clashes between the demonstrators and the police, pogroms and riots.
